Crikey.

Someone stop me going to the bank tomorrow and coming home with what looks like a kite welded to a kid's bike.

Apologies to fans in advance but moulton and bromptons for me are a pile of cack. Just don't get the appeal of either of them.

Think you need to be a professor in an "ology" to get them.....

Listen, this is no issue for fence sitting, say what you really mean!

I do get the appeal of folding bikes, and making them so they ride like full sized bikes is clever and kind of cool.

Charging that kind of money for one can only be a deliberate attempt to exploit the uber rich geeks amongst the folding bike fans.

I guess I would do the same if I was making them.

Slingshots are farrrrr more appealing to me.

How many beautiful classic bikes you could have for that money, but I get the impression some of those fanatics are not interested in any other bikes.

Is it the Brompton gathering where they all dress up in three piece suits, ties and helmets?

Bicycle clips are the order of the day.
